The first real Are You Dead Yet? -review

[janez79]

I know what harmonic minor and phrygian dominant means cause I've learned it, teaching myself guitar licks and techs. And I think all of the guitar solos on the new album kicks ass. And The ones on the slower songs such as Punch me I bleed is just as good as the solos on Angels don't kill and everytime I die. It's very melodic. The whole album is in fact. They've just moved a step closer to Trash/Punk. Not nu metal. And they are not sellout at all. Even bands as Death changed their style over the years and became more open to the public eye. That doesnt mean they sold out. It's just a matter of what you want to play. You grow very tired of playing the same shit every day. Same scales and same fucking solos. Everybody dose.
Are you dead yet is a very good album whether you like it or not.

I'm sure COB would sell a lot more by doing Hatebreeder2 like all you fannies wish. Dislike the new stuff, I couldn't care less. I just think it's pretty obvious that this is the hardest COB album to get into (as your mixed reactions prove) and very far from a sellout.



I bet his English is a lot better than your Finnish. And btw, "English" is spelled with a capital E, professor.

What kind of argument is this? So they're going for towards a more simplistic style to attract less fans right? YOU KNOW you are the biggest "fanny" around here, and you obviously do care about our opinions because you've got to defend their every move. Wanting more complex music doesn't make someone a "fanny" either. I'll give you a grammar tip too genius. You don't need a comma after "Capital E" because the professor part doesn't modify the sentence....and now that I've wasted 10 minutes of my life... uke: uke: uke:

For please idiots. ARRRGGH!!! It´s not defending their every move if you like the new bodom better than the old!!! I think HCDR, TL& and AYDY is MUCH more better than SW, HB or FTR. I just happen to like Machine Head, Pantera, BLS and all other bands that play a little harder music. And the music cob did on HB is cool, but its melodic, its not riffing music, which i enjoy better. I enjoy also the great solos which were on HB&FtR, but I hate music that only has them, like Wintersun or Imperanon. You can stop whining about the new bodom being so bad, because the fact is, some people just like it a little more harder.

 

[Rune]

The music on this album is just as hard to play as the one on hatebreeder. More riff based instead of licks and solos. But you can't say that this is a bad album without saying that HCDR sucks and half of FTR dose too. So go figure "mr. fan"

IYF is like "holding its breath", it's pretty slow and low tuned, you know what's coming out and then the whole house blasts into the air.. I think it's cool. I think the cool thing about T,L&S is that it's downmoody and wicked and desperate, and there's this beautiful "hopeful" metal melody that spices up the song. These songs are not like telling a story, they're rather describing the mental struggles and issues inside your head, or something..

 

[Rune]

And the rest of the album is just as cool or even cooler Wait and hear

 

[(__Joonas__)]

I can't imagine.. but it's only 8 days away!!!

 

[Rune]

It is. Believe me. It's 8 -10 days till it's in my hands. Can't wait. CD quality will make the songs even better. XD

It's not just that they're doing more simplistic stuff, the stress was on the fact that AYDY? is heavier and harder to get into than the previous albums. But like I said, people obviously don't seem to like the more straightforward style as much as they like the previous style. And no, they're not doing this to attract less fans because when writing songs they try not to think what the fans will think about this and this. But I really think that you're deaf if AYDY? sounds like a more listener friendly album than the previous ones.

YOU KNOW you are the biggest "fanny" around here

Yes, I really do.

... and you obviously do care about our opinions because you've got to defend their every move.

I don't defend their every move. I'm actually pretty critical when it comes to COB. Like I pointed out, you can hate AYDY, fine. I really don't care. But calling AYDY a sellout album is just fucking stupid and isn't based on any facts.

Wanting more complex music doesn't make someone a "fanny" either.

Correct. Now who said it does? Ok, I admit that using the word fanny in my previous post was pretty damn stupid in the first place. Just needed something to call the whiners.

I'll give you a grammar tip too genius. You don't need a comma after "Capital E" because the professor part doesn't modify the sentence....

Ah.. so you also think it's cool to bash people who don't speak English as their mother language for every small mistake they make? Come on, you're not that stupid.

..but I guess you're just pissed off at everything (you're giving me an English lesson, saying I defend everything they do..) because you didn't like how AYDY turned out. Well what can I say? Boo-fucking-hoo man. I guess the new more thrashy COB just isn't for you. I'd tell probably tell you to go back to listen to Stratovarius if I didn't know you well enough to know that you're gonna do it anyway.

alexi's still playing the same boring solos every day, i guess he doesn't get tired of that... and the same boring ass stale ass whammy bar tricks... should call him kerry king jr. now

just as hard? have you even listened to the riffs? like really listened? they are incredibly simplistic and boring... HCDR imo is 10000 times better than this album, and FTR is one of my favorites by them. this is crap compared to those 2 albums, its crap compared to anything bodom has put out, and if i ever see bodom again, and they play songs off this shitpile i'll definately be in the front row booing them.

new more thrashy? do you even know what the fuck thrash is about? by this statement i'd think you haven't heard a single fucking thrash band as long as you've lived. you think because you've heard bodom you are the expert on thrash? this album isn't "more thrashy" its more shitty, the riffs are definately not thrash, nor will they ever be. bands like pestilence, demolition hammer, devastation, that is thrash, this new album, is not. the riffs are so simplistic, that comparing them to nu-metal is the closest thing they can compare to. it is absolute shit.

hey you fucker i giv you news, listen fucking riffs on new cd and see those are fucking thrash riffs, and don't blame people if you don't know them, i think shadeg have heard more thrash band than you, even i have, hell i even love slayer and i find similar things of cob and slayer in these days. and try to make yourself a song what hits people, and you can sell cd's with that song, that is very hard, so can you even respect the band and go away from board if you have only negative things about them?

good for you, you can find thrash riffs when none exist. is slayer the only thrash band you can even mention? seriously get a clue.

Grow up, you arrogant idiot. Everyone here is probably against your stupid opinion, and you still think you are the one who is right, and everyone else is wrong.

 

[barrett_]

Grow up.

 

[Enemy242]

well he is kinda right about the new stuff not using thrash riffs, those really aren't thrash riffs at all and if they were they'd be newer thrash maaayyybee, but i don't think so. doing different open 6th string stuff over and over just with different patterns really is pretty lame imo.

amen, at least someone has a brain here, all the rest of you are brainless idiots who blindly follow this band while they fuck you in the ass with this shit of an album.

 

[Lari]

new more thrashy?

Yes, I think that some songs on this albums have thrashy riffs. I don't mean old school thrash metal riffs but more like modern slightly thrashy riffs. You don't have to agree on this, I didn't come here to bitch about genres. It's funny when you just reply only to small details on my posts because they're the only parts you find anything to cry about.

do you even know what the fuck thrash is about? by this statement i'd think you haven't heard a single fucking thrash band as long as you've lived. you think because you've heard bodom you are the expert on thrash? this album isn't "more thrashy" its more shitty, the riffs are definately not thrash, nor will they ever be. bands like pestilence, demolition hammer, devastation, that is thrash, this new album, is not.

Now this is really funny. Who the fuck, apart from you, said that I'm the expert on thrash? I used the expression "more thrashy" once. Also, I never said COB have turned completely to thrash metal (which is definitely not the case) now did I? I'm however really impressed that you can name THREE thrash metal bands for me. Wow.
